Maquillage will launch its Fall/Winter 2015 makeup collection on 21 August in Japan.
It includes:

Shade "1" is the light base foundation shade to be applied all over the lid for correcting dullness, and along the lower lashline. Shade "2" is the colorful accent shade and "3" is the natural shadow shade. Shade "4" is the liner shade.
The sponge applicator is angled at 14° for aiding the application of eyeshadow at the outer corners of the eyes. Pic from Be Story.

The set contains 2 eyeshadows (one loose and one highlighter cream shade), one blush and one lipgloss shade. The ad campaign features Lindsey Wixson, who just recently fronted Paul & Joe's new foundation campaign. Pics below by Keiko Watanabe.
